Yeah I just really want some answers. I think it's likely there's another season and Lana will be there, mostly because she filmed for Upfronts, but there is always the chance that was "just in case we get renewed" filming rather than it being for sure. If I'm going to have say goodbye to Regina, I need to time to prepare for it.

I know Suz and Emma don't watch sneak peeks, but I'll just say I've seen one of Lana's songs and it was very entertaining! It was a good piece for her. I've seen 2 so far (the other is Hook) and while you can tell these aren't professional vocalists, they are really quite good for a TV show musical. I didn't cringe or hide my face at all! :lol:

Heather, about the screener spoilers, I just saw that same thing.

haha good to know that the vocals are okay.

i mean my fav tv show musical will always be buffy but i hope that once gets close to it

I loved the Buffy musical. Now I want to re-watch it.

haha me too :D lets do it

:lol: I never followed Buffy. Back in that era, I was following the other WB shows like Charmed, Roswell etc. However, I did watch some of the Angel spin off when it came out because I knew things about Buffy.

Yeah, as far as s7, I hope ABC just announces very soon.

Sherry ...

I like Charmed as well. I watched it on Netflix a few years ago.

Suz, I think I might re-watch the Buffy musical episode this weekend. :)

I'm hoping we'll know about renewal before the finale. I don't want to find out after that fact that it was the final episode.

Heather

hehe i will watch with you

and heather i watched all of those shows you mentioned. yes i am a tv show junkie :D

This picture is part of the theory that at least some of our characters are going to end up in the enchanted forest during the finale. Notice that Zelena is not green, nor is she wearing her pendant, so this is probably not a flashback. It's possible this could be either Regina or the split Queen, but for now I'm just assuming it's Regina.

Interesting, if its the EF, I'd say Regina because Wish Robin & Double EQ are not in our characters realm. Unless something happens to send her there too otherwise she's with wish Robin in an AU wish realm. But who knows, right?

Oh, OT, but earlier in our discussion when we were talking about how the BF would cast a dark curse without the heart of the thing she loves most, I listened again to the dialogue and there is more origins for the dark curse because she said she used 2 ancient spells to create it.

Yes, anything is possible. I read that Lana hinted at a con over the weekend that there could be more to come of the Queen and Henry, but I'm not sure how that could happen unless Henry is going to the wish realm or the Queen is coming back. Or maybe she meant in a possible season 7. I've seen zero spoilers or even rumors involving both the queen and Henry, so no idea on that.

Oh that's interesting, I didn't catch that. So there could still be more to come on that.

Oh, interesting. So, when she mentioned, Queen, she meant her double? That can be confusing because sometimes Regina is still referred to as the Queen. Especially now since 'Evil' was dropped. Yeah, I have heard no spoilers at all regarding Henry & the Queen but I assume it would be the double. Hm. Maybe as the author, going to the wish realm au has something to do with the 'new book' for s7?

I still get a little worried that the Queen will be the one back for a s7 if they kill off Regina along with Rumple in the final battle. Or they kill just her. A&E talked about how some stories were ending for some characters in this finale, which is closing up the story of s1-s6. I would say that applies to Regina. We've all asked ourselves what they would do with her now. The loophole they have in bringing Lana back IS they created her double. Maybe that's what Lana was hinting at about more to come for the Queen & Henry? Otherwise, it is just for the finale but what would be the relevance in bringing the Queen double back when she supppsedly got her HE where she is?

Yeah. Nothing may come of it but I thought it was interesting to take note of.

Yes, I think she meant the double of Regina that went to the wish realm. It is confusing because they are both the queen and they are both Regina. So I call them Regina for the one in Storybrooke, the Queen for the version who went to wish realm, and the EQ for flashbacks. There are so many versions of her now. Plus I think somewhere in the wish realm there is a banished Old Evil Queen as well. I hope she doesn't show up too. :lol:

It's always possible they would kill off Regina and bring back the Queen instead, but I'm not sure where that story would go. It would probably mean things didn't work out between she and wish Robin since I don't see Sean coming back. Would she be evil again? They've already done a redemption story for Regina, so it would be repetitive to do another one for basically the same character. Hopefully we'll have some answers at the end of the finale.

:lol: Oh gosh, it's a little crazy, because technically the EQ from the EF is the past of both Regina and her Queen double, right? At least the wish verse version I can chalk up to being AU.

You know, there's a Q&A that Lana's doing on Facebook tomorrow and I submitted a question about this very thing, lol, I asked for her interpretation on whether they are now considered 2 separate people or are they still one in the same. Because the whole thing is a bit strange to me. I know there are lots of questions that get asked but if by chance she gets to this one, I'll let you know what she says.

Hopefully, it's just my paranoia, lol.

Yeah. Since both versions of her are now balanced, I would think she wouldn't revert back to being evil again. But her return would seem to imply that dark OQ didn't pan out or it wouldn't be her focus. We still don't even know how much involvement our characters returning would have in the new story.

I hope your question gets asked!

I hope any returning characters would be involved in the new storyline, but maybe not. Belle has been a regular since season 2 and she's never been used as more than a supporting character in Rumple's story.

I really just need a good story for Regina and some regal believer stuff. I hope Ginny will do some guest appearances. I will miss the Snow and Regina friendship.

ETA: I just saw on TV Line that ABC has a deal to do a reboot of American Idol to air on Sunday nights starting in March 2018. My daughter watches all those talent type shows and they nearly always air at 8:00. I'm thinking if Once comes back, they may only get a half season.

i also hope your question gets asked :)

but the EF and the wish realm are two different realms right? I am a bit confused when it comes to that. I always thought the wish realm didnt excist until emma wished for it but the EF does excist still (of course without all the people that are in storybrooke because well they cant be at two places at once) Or wait robin and the split queen are in the EF now not in the wish realm? ok now i am more confused lol
